2. Fikre

I became quite depressed. I registered in my district to send Amanuel to school as I could’t afford it. Soon after I had a visit from the Hope Enterprises team. They asked me about my situation. To my surprise they told me Amanuel could attend their free school in Ayertena, and that he would also have free meals there. I never imagined this was possible, I was the happiest person!”

As she was in such a difficult situation, Fikre was also offered a spot in HOPE’s new tailoring training course. The certified training teaches women skills in making men and women’s clothes, school uniforms and Ethiopian traditional items, which are all in high demand in the capital. The training lasted 4 months, after which Fikre was certified, The future for Fikre and her son now looks very promising!
